Chihuahuas

These pocket-sized pups can easily travel from the dog park to the red carpet, thanks to their petite size. Some famous Chihuahua lovers include Paris Hilton (who has an entire pet mansion on her property for her spoiled pooches), Madonna, Hilary Duff and Britney Spears. But it's not just the blonde starlets who love these tiny dogs from Mexico. Other famous folks who own them include Mickey Rourke, Demi Moore and Paula Abdul.

Pomeranians

Super fluffy and an excellent choice for urban living because of their small stature, Pomeranians are another popular pick among the stars. And who could blame them? Pomeranians lend themselves well to the finer things in life, like Japanese haircuts. Famed Pom owners include Megan Fox, Gwen Stefani and former RHOBH star Lisa Vanderpump, who was our real favourite cast member during her time on the show.

These miniature hounds have gentle, affectionate personalities and love an accessory, making them a perfect pick for fashionable celebs who love matching their outfits to their dogs’. Other celeb Italian Greyhound lovers include Will Smith and Matt Damon.

Another popular small dog breed among celebrities, teeny tiny Yorkies make for excellent lap dogs. They’re super affectionate towards their owners, giving their celeb dog parents all the love and devotion that stars are used to. Is that why they’re popular among stars like Keke Palmer, former RHOA star Nene Leakes, Jennifer Lawrence and devoted dog dad Simon Cowell?
